Wheee! ... *faints*
Jun. 2nd, 2008 12:37 amI... am going to be so sore tomorrow ^_^... Jay and Ali are visiting, and we went hiking at Clifty Falls with their friend Rick, today. In Indiana, you have not properly hiked unless you've taken on some of the more rugged trails, there. The land looked like something from a fairytale, with the forest rising up on cliffs and all of the big mossy rocks along the creek. The water was nearly waist deep in some places, and I got very wet and a little muddy, and it was fantabulous.
We did wind up having to rush a bit at the end, when we realized how late it was getting and that we still had a couple of miles of creek bed to traverse if we wanted to get back to a proper trail before it got dark. Said trail was steep to the point of being nigh vertical in a couple of places (which were also a bit slick with mud), so yes, that was fun. :-| *Makes note to get a proper pair of hiking boots, and also looks forward to getting back into martial arts and thusly back into better shape, as the scramble up the slope was quite a workout* Given the proper shoes, I'd happily do it all over again tomorrow.
Feeling pleasantly exahusted, right now, so I believe I may go and veg out a bit, maybe start work on Katakana.... *yawns* Though, maybe a short nap is also in order... :-?
